Thanks Michelle. You came up to me with the LA Street Photography sign, said hi, and I confirmed to your relief that you found the meetup group, and got acquainted with some of the members. You mentioned your physical limitations and I'm glad you were able to shoot with a few of them, and had an enjoyable experience.

Thank you Galen. Yes, I had a great time that day. I was overjoyed that I finally made a meetup and connected with the members. I left around 2, since I was in quite a bit of pain, although I really didn't want to go. :-( I did shoot a few more photos on the way to the GoldLine. Glad to meet you! :-) I look forward to more meetups with this group.

Street photography is the art of exploring life as it happens in the everyday moment, capturing the lives of others in a decisive instant frozen in time,

Street photography tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter , it often concentrates on a single human act, caught at a decisive or poignant moment.

On the other hand, much of street photography takes the opposite approach and provides a very literal and extremely personal rendering of the subject matter,

giving the audience a more visceral experience of walks of life they might only be passingly familiar with.

Since the 20th century, street photographers have provided an exemplary and detailed record of street culture throughout Europe and North America.

Street Photography is the process of finding situations that can be resolved into meaningful images ,, It is one of the hardest forms of photography in that you get only one chance to get it right before the moment is lost forever.

Street photography is closely related to photojournalism and documentary photography and the lines between the three disciplines is often blurred or nonexistent
